Canine Studio Audio Restoration

Canine Studio is no longer in business.


What we do:

We use advanced software tools, experience and expertise to remove as much of the audio impairments (clicks, crackles, pops, noise, etc.) as possible from your source material.

Here at Canine Studio we take pride in our work and the results show it.

How we do it:

Briefly, our audio restoration process can be described as follows:

When we receive your source material we gently hand wash the record and play it on a state of the art turntable using an appropriately sized stylus. Next the audio is digitized, transferred to and recorded on a computer. During the transfer process the audio is listened to by a human in real time and notes are taken documenting any impairments.

The resultant recordings are then analyzed and appropriate software tools, algorithms and expertise are used to remove clicks, crackles, pops and noise. The recordings are then parsed into individual tracks and a Red Book standard audio CDR is burned.

Finally, a CD label and a Jewel Box insert are created and the CDR and the source materials are shipped back to the customer.

Disclaimers:

It is important to realize that it is not always possible to remove all impairments. Some impairments such as distortion caused by extreme wear are not possible to completely eliminate. Also, attempting to remove all the noise from seriously degraded source material can cause the result to sound unnatural. Therefore, in some cases the results will still contain noise (sometimes substantial). In addition severe scratches may still be audible (although greatly diminished in volume). Finally, embedded surface defects (sometimes referred to as 'once-around' noise) pose a challenge for removal.

Therefore, given these considerations reasonable expectations should be exercised by the customer.
